INSOMINA MEME

It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?

i n s t r u c t i o n s

• Post with your character.
• Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.
• Have fun!

o p t i o n s

01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

I'm a pro at late-night baking. Haven't you watched me from your computer long enough to know that I just don't sleep?

[He's getting back to mixing the dough as he talks.]

[OH GOD, NO.]

Nothing! Nothing is happening! There is no answer to your question!

I am...sleepwalking.

Yup.

[Which would explain why is voice is so unnaturally high all of a sudden, right?]
itsahotone: (hair-toss)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
That shit's gross. I need to do something.

[Like make soup that will take five hours.]

[ At first she tried ignoring all the noise. She figured it would stop eventually and she could go back to sleep! But nooooo. It kept going on and on. It got to the point that Jade decided to walk down to the kitchen just to see what the heck was going on.

One she gets there she stays at the entrance, covering her eyes from the bright light. ]


What are you doing?

[John doesn't usually bother Jade at night because, well, she is kind of hard to wake up! But tonight he just...

Kind of needs family.

So he knocks on her door, shuffling his feet.]

Can't sleep. [ She moves directly for Dave's bed and begins piling the blankets and pillows up at the foot of it. Like a boss, she climbs onto the newly formed pile, curls up, and tilts her face towards Dave (in her mind, she is a dragon on a massive pile of gold right now, and it is awesome).]

So, what's up?
akapeanut: (Let's pause and consider punching you)

[personal profile] akapeanut 2012-01-13 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
I don't snore.
itsahotone: (either serious or hateful; either works)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
On my floor instead of yours.

[Sure. Makes perfect sense.]
usskickass: (Please be good)

[personal profile] usskickass 2012-01-13 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She yawns, wipes the gunk out of her eyes, and sits up. She can probably do video now, right? Close enough to presentable, anyway.]

What kinds of things?
spacetier: (A Princess or a Witch??)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-13 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Jade was on her way back to her room from the kitchen. She didn't expect to bump into anyone. Not at this time of night. So she is absolutely gleeful when she sees Dave. She walks up to him, hot cocoa in hand. ]

Hi, Dave!
turn4bout: (sup dog sup sup)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ She drifts over lazily, sniffing at things here and there. ] Yeah, but you usually kept to one place. Kinda boring to watch, actually. [ yawn. she rests her head on his shoulder, "watching" him mix. ]
usskickass: (Really?)

[personal profile] usskickass 2012-01-13 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

Something happen?
turn4bout: (me english nicht verstehen)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Well, then, maybe I should sleepescort you to sleepwalk off a sleepcliff. Maybe that'll wake you up.
spacetier: (dang im sad)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-13 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ It takes her a while to open the door. Waking up is serious business. Especially when your blankets are so warm and cozy and the rest of your room is not. But she gets there eventually and she is surprised with what she sees. And maybe a little worried. ]

John?
usskickass: (Gigglesnort)

[personal profile] usskickass 2012-01-13 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't notice the girl at first, mostly because she's jamming out to some Dolly Parton, but eventually she sees her and grins.]

Hey kid. Wanna help?
hamburellakind: (*chinhands*)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
[...Not even surprised anymore.]

What's...up?
turn4bout: (> : ?)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ wow only terezi defines what is illegal and because she owns everyone's rooms this is her property which means that she can show up whenever!! ]

Yeah, sometimes. Gimmie a bunch of them. [ that last part is said as she wanders about Jade's room, sniffing here and there. must find a perfect plaaace. ]
hamburellakind: (:c)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I can just tell something's wrong.
hamburellakind: (*snore*)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 08:37 am (UTC)(link)

itsahotone: ([mercedes] step off)

Except you totally do because you totally were, miss rotting chainsaw!!
spacetier: (dang uh....what???)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-13 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ She squints. The light still bothers her. ]

Actually I came here to ask you if you could be quieter and...

[ Oh man. How could she say no? That would be mean. ]

..Ok. What do you want help with?
turn4bout: (1'M FUUUUUCK3D UP)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hahah, just. Stuff. I guess. I mean, I don't know. Nothing, I think? But. I just. [ She starts giggling, but it sounds far more nervous than her typical mirth. ]
hamburellakind: (Grr.)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
[John walks in and collapses face first on Dave's bed.

Shift.

...

Shift shift.

......

Shift.]


AUGH, this isn't better!
